JUDGE SAMPSON SPEAKS FOR RACE IN OPENING SPEECH; LUCAS SAID NOTHING
In his opening address Mr. Lucas said much about race horses but nothing about the colored race constituency of the Republican party. What Judge Sampson has to say follows:
"I am not unmindful of the great needs of the public schools for the colored children of Kentucky. They are citizens, and when the life of the Nation was threatened they responded just the same as the whites. They must be trained so that they may be most useful to our State and Nation, as well as to themselves.
The white schools have supervisors that go over the State, and they have given splendid aid to the public schools. It would be only fair to have such agencies to promote the welfare of the colored school.
The colored Normal School at Frankfort has done a most wonderful work for that race, but the help to this fine school has been very limited indeed. It is my purpose, if elected Governor, to see that this school gets more [substantial?] help, and to urge the erection [of?] another Normal School for colored people in another section of the State.
The public schools of Kentucky are very near to my heart.
We want to so train the minds and hearts of all our young people that fewer of them in later life may be found in penal institutions and more of them in the useful and honorable activities of this great Commonwealth.
His Record in His Home Town.
Judge Sampson is the true and tried friend of the race. This is well known to all colored people of Eastern Kentucky who have come in close contact with Judge Sampson. As a lawyer he always represented colored defendants whether they had money with which to pay the fee or not. When they needed money for schools and [churches?] he gave it. Some years ago when the colored people had no school building in Barbourville, the home town of Judge Sampson, and when money for the purpose of erecting school buildings could only be collected from the property of colored people, Judge Sampson started a movement in Barbourville for raising the funds with which to build a respectable school building for the colored children. Most of the colored people of that city at that time were rather poor. They could not give much money to the fund but they subscribed small sums of from $1 to $10, the whole amount raised by the colored people being less than $100 and Judge Sampson furnished the balance of the money except for a few small contributions from white people with which a handsome school building was erected for the colored children in Barbourville.
Every colored citizen of that town who has lived there very long knows all the facts and can tell you about it. The school building thus erected was one of the handsomest in the county at that time and cost a rather large sum of money for those days.
A. A. MORRIS AND JAMES MURPHY APPOINTED DETECTIVES BY DEMOCRATS
Succeed Hemphill And Wood; Other Appointments To Follow, Report
Messrs. A. O. Morris, well known citizens, the president of the Fifth District Democratic Club and James Murphy, equally well known, were appointed detectives by the local Democratic administration, recently given charge of the city government by the decision of the Court of Appeals against the Republicans, Tuesday of this week, to succeed Hemphill and Wood, who were the first colored men to become members of the police department under the Republicans, after promise after promise by the leaders, covering ten years, and vigorous agitation on the part of some of the race papers and independent leaders, for some sort of recognition for the loyalty of the race constituency of the party. Mrs. Bertha Whedbee, the only other person of color connected with the department, resigned a few days after the Democrats took charge. No one has as yet been appointed to succeed Mrs. Whedbee, but it is reported that other men are to be appointed as detectives.
Both Morris and Murphy have been loyal Democrats during the last few years, and are deserving of the positions given them. They have the [best?] wishes of all right thinking Negroes and white people too.

Hon. Rowlett Paine, Mayor of Memphis, welcomed the delegates that represent 22,000 of our group in the Post Office Department. W. Irving Glover, Second Assistant Postmaster General, Washington, D. C., praised the Colored Man's loyalty to the Federal Government. "The service rendered by you is the finest in quality of service rendered by anybody," he said. "The Post Office Department is the Alpha and Omega of everything. It is responsible for the existence of all other departments and should be called the intimate department.

LEE BROWN LOSES PLACE ON BALLOT; DR. R. L. SUMMERS A CANDIDATE
Charles W. Ryans, representative of the Fifty-eighth Legislative District, which he in reality makes a feeble effort at representing, won his case against Lee L. Brown, colored candidate for the nomination subject to the Republican primary August 6. The district which is more than 90 per cent colored, has been represented in the State Legislature by Ryans and his father, who is now Senator, over a period of several years. Brown who was making his third attempt to get the office, filed his papers as of the Fiftieth District, when he should have named the Fiftieth-eighth District. Ryans brought suit to have his name kept from the ballot because of error, and Judge Davis W. Edwards handed down a decision in his favor last Tuesday. It s very unfortunate that after all these years, and of political ambitions to the extent of wanting to represent his people in the state legislature, that such a blunder was made. Dr. R. L. Summers, the other colored man in the race for the nomination, filed his papers properly, and it is hoped that he will put forth such an effort to win as will encourage the full support of the colored voters of his district. He will be heard from next week. It doesn't take much, however on the part of the colored man as representative to better the kind the race has been getting from the Ryans.
